Elwell Goldsborough to G. F. Seward, April 23, 1880
[Inclosure 1 in No. 705.]
Mr. Goldsborough to Mr. Seward.
Amoy, April 23, 1880.
No. 107.]
Sir: In response to your dispatch No. 86, of February 27, 1880, I beg to state that there are two private English schools at this port for the education of Chinese, conducted by native-born Chinese, who possess a fair knowledge of the English language, but there is no institution of the kind founded or supported by the government.
The missionaries have several schools of their own for the tuition of Chinese boys and girls in the Chinese language.
I have, &c.,
W. ELWELL GOLDSBOROUGH.
